He also featured The Wonderful World of Brother Buzz, an in house production that left a lifetime impression on me; thanks to Brother Buzz, I was practicing ecology years before they even invented the word.

The Wonderful World of Brother Buzz was later was spun-off and became its own program that started right after the that cool TV test pattern was retired for the day on Saturday mornings.

Extra points if you can name the event that woke up Colonel Bleep's other Space Deputy, Scratch, after his long, long slumber?
